Complainte de la Seine (original)Complainte de la Seine (translation)
Au fond de la Seine At the bottom of the Seine
Il y a de l’or, There is gold,
Des bateaux rouillés, rusty boats,
Des bijoux, des armes. Jewelry, weapons.
Au fond de la Seine At the bottom of the Seine
Il y a des larmes. There are tears.
Au fond de la Seine At the bottom of the Seine
Il y a des fleurs, There are flowers,
De vase et de boue Of silt and mud
Elles sont nourries. They are fed.
Au fond de la Seine At the bottom of the Seine
Il y a des coeurs There are hearts
Qui souffrient trop who suffered too much
Pour vivre la vie. To live life.
Et puis des cailloux And then pebbles
Et des bêtes grises, And gray beasts,
L'âme des égouts The Soul of the Sewers
Soufflant des poisons, blowing poisons,
Les anneaux jetés The thrown rings
Par des incomprises, By misunderstandings,
Des pieds qu’une hélice Feet than a propeller
A coupés du trone. Cut off from the throne.
Et les fruits maudits And the cursed fruits
Des ventres stériles, barren bellies,
Laits blancs avortés Aborted white milks
Que nul n’aima, that no one loved,
Les vomissements vomiting
De la grand' ville, From the big city,
Au fond de la Seine At the bottom of the Seine
Il y a cela. There is that.
O Seine clémente O merciful Seine
Ou vont des cadavres, Where the corpses go
Au lit dont les draps In bed whose sheets
Sont faits de limon. Are made of silt.
Fleuve des déchets waste river
Sans fanal ni havre, Without beacon or haven,
Chanteuse berçant female singer rocking
La morgue, ils le font. The morgue, they do.
Accueille le pauvre Welcome the poor
Accueille le pauvre Welcome the poor
Accueille la femme Welcome the wife
Accueille la femme Welcome the wife
Accueille l’ivrogne, Welcome the drunk,
Accueille le fou, Welcome the fool,
Mêle leurs sanglots Mix their sobs
Au bruit de tes larmes At the sound of your tears
Et porte leur coeur And carry their heart
Et porte leur coeur And carry their heart
Et porte leur coeur And carry their heart
Parmi les cailloux. Among the stones.
Au fond de la Seine At the bottom of the Seine
Il a de l’or, He has gold,
Des bateaux rouillés, rusty boats,
Des bijoux, des armes. Jewelry, weapons.
Au fond de la Seine At the bottom of the Seine
Il y a des morts There are dead
Au fond de la Seine At the bottom of the Seine
Il a des larmes.He has tears.
